Role Reversal

We invited some neighbors over for a Labor Day cookout this week. The husband is a skilled woodworker in his spare time, so I excitedly updated him and his wife about my current project. The man is also a hot pepper lover, which meant that my husband, Scott, shared his recipe for homemade hot pepper shake, made from his homegrown peppers.

Scott waxed on and on about his pepper patch and told the couple that he used his dehydrator--a birthday gift last year--to dry them before grinding into the pepper shake. Knowing that I had received a table saw for Christmas last year and a router for a birthday present, the wife started to chuckle. "You get a table saw and he gets a dehydrator," she laughed. "Now that's a role reversal!"

Yeah, I guess it is. But it's one that's fine with me!
